Synopsis

The Islamic Marriage Guide - According to the Life of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]

All praise is due to Allah Ta'ala, who created mankind and established marriage as a means of bringing two people together in a bond of love, mercy and companionship. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam provided Muslims with guidance on marriage and family life and demonstrated through his Sunnah how spouses should conduct themselves with kindness, responsibility and respect.

The Islamic Marriage Guide presents guidance on marriage according to the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. It addresses important aspects of marriage and highlights the importance of following the Sunnah while avoiding customs and practices that conflict with Islamic teachings.

Marriage is an important institution in Islam, yet many unnecessary customs and practices have become part of marriage ceremonies. Excessive spending, inappropriate customs and actions that are contrary to Islamic values can take away from the simplicity and blessings of Nikah. This book encourages Muslims to understand the Islamic approach to marriage and to seek simplicity, modesty and obedience to Allah Ta'ala.
